• Criminal case, no known verdict. Ukrainian prosecutors indicted founder Oleksandr Feskov and five associates for human trafficking (Art. 149 §3) over "Operation Spaniard": vulnerable Ukrainian women were recruited as surrogates and sent to give birth in Prague, where about 30 newborns were handed to foreign clients (Sweden, Germany, Spain, Greece and others) for roughly €60,000 each; one child reportedly went untraced in the USA. The indictment reached court in 2023; as of 2026-07-04, searches in English, Ukrainian, Russian and Czech found no public record of a trial opening or verdict. Czech authorities declined to prosecute for lack of an applicable offence. Source: Seznam Zprávy.
• No US class action found. We found no record of any class action or civil suit by American clients against Feskov; only older individual complaints (Feskov / La Vita Felice, incl. a claimed $17,000 loss) on the Legal Junkies forum (unverified).
• "Kyiv/Prague relocation" reality check. The About page still claims clinics in Kharkiv, Kyiv and Prague, but the contacts page lists no Prague address, and Feskov's own Czech-program page (Feb 2026) concedes surrogacy in Czechia is "practically impossible" for foreigners, redirecting clients to "hybrid" births in Greece, Armenia and elsewhere. The Brussels "office" (Rond-Point Schuman 2-4, level 6) is a Regus/DaVinci virtual-office floor, suggesting the European offices are marketing addresses. The Kharkiv and Kyiv clinics still take bookings via feskov.ua; Spanish outlet La Marea (Apr 2025) confirmed ongoing wartime operations, mail-in genetic material, and market expansion toward China and Arab countries.
• Regulatory pressure. In early 2025 Spain's Women's Institute named Feskov among 12 companies allegedly breaching the surrogacy-advertising ban (it was left out of the July 2025 lawsuit); Spanish prosecutors moved in Feb 2026 to block foreign surrogacy websites. Ukraine's government drafted a bill (Oct 2025) to ban surrogacy for foreigners.
• Reviews. Trustpilot holds at about 4.0 from 17 reviews, incl. a Dec 2025 positive review and one alleging dishonesty about where surrogates are sourced. A notable 2022 Otzovik review by a prospective Kharkiv surrogate described the Czech birth scheme as criminal "human trafficking" — a year before prosecutors said the same. No indexed Reddit discussions. The Chinese-language site surrogate-mother.cn remains active (updated June 2026), selling €37,500–95,000 "remote packages" with "100% guarantee" wording and no mention of the criminal case.
